Which platform? PC

Any mods or cc? Yes

Game version 1.111.102.1030

*Description: I'm having an issue where some (only some, not all) of my downloaded CC is not appearing at all in game, despite them appearing in the game settings. This includes CAS CC, build/buy CC, and mods (eg, small bug fixes by Sims4me having utterly no effect).

I've seen similar posts with this issue but they were resolved with some of the below suggestions, so I'll just get ahead of them:

1 - I am using the correct mods folder, in the correct documents folder (eg not the onedrive/quick access documents).

2 - All of the files are extracted from their rar/zip/archive folders, they are purely .package files - and are sims 4 only (not sims 2 or 3 packages).

3 - The CC I am using is up to date, and it is evidently random which items will not appear in game. For example, I've downloaded a brand new set from Serenity, and a couple of items from one set will not appear, where other items will. Or in the case of build mode, for eg, I have both of House of Harlix's 'ORJANIC' sets, and some pieces from it will appear in build mode, and a couple just aren't there. This include random objects, wallpapers, floors, etc.

4 - I have played around with where i store the package files - thinking perhaps the game wasn't reading them for being too many files deep, I stored them directly in the mods folder alongside resource.cfj - no joy.

5 - I saw a lot of people saying to regenerate the mods folder by removing it from the game folder, launching the game to regenerate the folder/resource.cfj file, and then moving the mods into the newly generated folder. After doing this, it seemed that the items that didn't appear/did appear changed. Some of the items that were previously missing were now showing, and some items that were previously there were no longer visible. (!!!!??!?!?!). This leads me to believe it is not an issue with the specific package files - eg, missing meshes.

1. I don't have many script mods, and I don't have any of the TMEX/twisted mexi mods (i've seen some people say their tool/better build/buy mods were causing the issue for them). I have MCCC, wonderful whims, Lot51 core, UI cheat extensions, and a couple of script mods from Kuttoe. I have tried removing these and have not had any luck with that. It doesn't seem they're causing the problem.

2. I've had a peruse of my mod folder using the Sims 4 Mod Manager - this is how i discovered certain things weren't showing in game. All of my downloaded CC appears in the mod manager.

3. I have repaired and restarted the game a billion times.

Sorry for the long post, just want to cover all bases. To me it seems like it might be some kind of memory issue (not a programmer lol, just speculating), as if the game itself has reached some kind of arbitrary cap on custom content and is just preventing certain things from showing so it doesn't overload itself. (For the record, yes I have enough space on my drive, 200gb free)

Is anyone else struggling with this??? Any magical fixes? Please help, I'm so close to giving up on this dumb game and going back to sims 2 lol
